            meeting, the student's parents had planned a surprise vacation for this week.

      50-50 Rafflle

          (50% of the pot goes for club administration and 50% goes to the lucky individual if their       

          raffle ticket is chosen and they select the one joker hidden in the ever-decreasing deck of

           cards. If the joker is not drwn then the pot rolls over to the next week). 

          Barry lost $70.50, no record of the card selected- but he missed the joker ;-(

          The Robinson family struck twice in as many weeks as Alan's Dad, Rodney Robinson, was

               selected as winner of the $100 calender raffle, the pressure is on for a hat trick
